    THE RULE OF LAW ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Joseph P. Hoar Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2013 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Joseph P. Hoar conducted by George Gavrilis on March 13, 2012. This interview is part of the Rule of Law Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. VJD Session One Interviewee: Joseph P. Hoar Location: Washington, D.C. Interviewer: George Gavrilis Date: March 13, 2012 Q: This is George Gavrilis. It’s March 13, 2012. I’m here in Washington, D.C. with General Joseph P. Hoar for the Columbia University Oral History Project on the Rule of Law. Thank you for doing it this morning. Thank you for making yourself available for the whole day. We’re hoping to do two sessions and talk about a number of things. In a preliminary conversation we had over the phone—and before I hit the record button—we were talking about a number of things, including your—I suppose a good way of putting it is many hats—the many hats you wore in your career. You’ve been in the military. You’ve been stationed a lot of places around the world. You’ve worked in the private sector. You’ve worked with think tanks, and you’ve also been very outspoken in your views on a number of issues that the Rule of Law Project intersects with.

African Americans perceived racial issues—race relations, prejudice, and discrimination—in Vietnam through a lens heavily influenced by their earlier experiences in the United States. Issues related to race and race relations helped to define the African American experience in the United States, and these same issues defined the experiences of black soldiers in Vietnam. Race relations in combat were typified by cooperation, shared sacrifice, and a sense of brotherhood. These positive relations were largely a reflection of the fact that black and white soldiers in combat were heavily dependent on one another. Despite these positive interactions with whites, African Americans did not view the armed forces as an institution free of racial prejudice.

President William J. Clinton. Dispatch. Vol. 7, No. 32, August 5, 1996. Washington, DC: Office of Public Communication, Bureau of Public Affairs, 1996. p.401-404. [Text of Remarks]. SuDoc# S 1.3/5: 7/32 “Most dramatically, our personal, community, and national security depend upon our policies on terrorism at home and abroad. We cannot advance the common good at home without advancing the common good around the world. We cannot reduce the threats to our people without reducing the threats to the world beyond our borders. That’s why the fight against terrorism must be both a national priority and a national security priority. We have pursued a concerted national and international strategy against terrorism on three fronts: first, beyond our borders, by working more closely than ever with our friends and allies; second, here at home, by giving law enforcement the most powerful counterterrorism tools available; and, third, in our airports and airplanes by increasing aviation security.” Online http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/briefing/dispatch/1996/html/Dispatchv7no32.html ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN, OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL, FISCAL YEAR 2003.
